"I've been going in and getting their nutrition by the cup charts for all their serving sizes [...] I'm already getting a feel for what to eat - the plain nut pack as a snack because it only has 190 calories, compared to the piece of pumpkin bread."

And she doesn't sound naïve. Not at all.

Caffeine and only Starbuck's and she's looking to keep herself light? She'll be dead before she's bankrupt.

This lady spends almost as much on food a week than I can go through in an entire month! Then again, as a former starbucks barista, I liked her point about supporting employee benefits. I guess if someone has $550/month to blow at one place, its better its at Starbucks than Walmart (where I shop)-- more of it goes to the employees!

Here's an idea. Cook healthily at home for a fraction of that $18 a day and donate the rest to the homeless or something. I'm sure a local shelter would love the $3,500+ she'd contribute at the end of it all.

"So far, she's averaging $18.79 a day on food and drink from Starbucks. For those of you who eat out all the time, this might seem like pennies. But some bargain shoppers who save money by eating in (and making their own coffee) will probably see that as wasteful."

$18.79 will buy me lunch for almost two weeks. Thankfully, I've never acquired the taste of wet beans.

From her blog:" Mostly I have enjoyed tea iced in the summer or some chai varieties with streamed soy milk on cold days; soon my 20 minute visit turned into this new appreciation for tea related topics from the baked cinnamon apple herbal tea and ginger-infused sugar duo I picked up to the absolutely mouth-watering dinner creations a team member told me about trying on salmon by using their lapsang souchong as a rub."

From her writing style I would say she has already had waaaay too much caffeine.

Like most women in search of free sperm, Beth and Nicole asked for artificial insemination, or AI. As opposed to natural insemination (code for actual sex), AI typically involves injecting fresh sperm into the vagina, or loading it into a latex cup that fits on the cervix. Beth and Nicole had to work around three people's schedules and an ovulation calendar, so the venues at which they met their donor had a saucy impromptu feel: a hotel, the back of the couple's SUV, a camper trailer, a Starbucks bathroom. At Starbucks, the donor ejaculated in the bathroom in private, exited, and handed the sperm-filled latex cup to Nicole, who in turn entered the bathroom and attached the cup to her cervix. As nature took its course, the three sat down for coffee together. "It wasn't my highest moment," says Beth. They didn't conceive.yummy latte Link

What happened to the turkey baster? Does no one use a turkey baster any more for artificial insemination? Has the turkey baster gone the way of the douche bag? Or is it still relevant for AI?

Forbidden Doughnut:I wouldn't be surprised if this "diet" was more affordable than buying groceries at Whole Foods....

I've never done real grocery shopping at Whole Foods but their buffet is no more expensive for lunch than any other prepared food option above McDonalds level and their microwavable frozen items are only slightly more expensive than Stouffers while being much better for you.
